Azure SQL Database does not currently support Polybase, though it is supported in the on-premise version.

Not planned at this time. Will keep this item open for future review.

Hm... are you sure this is correct? I have actually used External Tables (Polybase) within an Azure SQL Database. However, the source is a read-only replicated Azure SQL database, not blob/file source. We did this to ingest/land data into a data warehouse.

Polybase is potentially a great low-risk design option when wanting to use satellite Opco Azure SQL Database but much of source data is in on-prem ERP export files

This should be a feature in Azure SQL Database to match on prem SQL server. Its not always possible to justify the expense of Azure SQL Data Warehouse (nice as it is).

Why is this still not a feature (along with changing recovery models). I mean, other than making customers use the more expensive synapse offering.

AWS provides very simple way of reading parquet file, Azure doesn't. At least polybase would be comparatively easier feature to get to ADL parquet files from sql server.
How can you have this feature on on-premises but not in the cloud? Please enable this at the earliest. -

This is really required to make life a lot easier to load data directly to Azure SQL from data lake . Please make this available soon.

More votes for this. The absence of this capability is a serious roadblock in driving Azure SQL adoption for us.

This would be super useful, especially with data lake gen2 support.
